On January 27, 2025, a shocking crime took place in Nemmara, a village in the Palakkad district of Kerala, when Chenthamara, a man previously convicted for the 2019 murder of Sajitha, carried out another gruesome double murder. Chenthamara, who had been granted parole, turned violent once again, fatally attacking two members of the same family. His victims were Meenakshi Lakshmi, a 76-year-old woman, and her son Sudhakaran, aged 58. The attack was brutal, and the police were left to investigate the chilling circumstances that led to this horrific crime.
Following the double murder, Chenthamara fled into the nearby forests, evading immediate capture. Kerala Police immediately launched a massive search operation to apprehend the fugitive. As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that Chenthamara, having already been convicted once for murder, was granted parole under certain conditions, which now appeared to have been violated. The motive behind this latest crime remains unclear, and authorities are working tirelessly to piece together the events leading up to this fatal attack. The case has brought into sharp focus concerns over the parole system, particularly with regard to individuals with a history of violent crime. The Kerala Police have assured the public that they are committed to bringing the culprit to justice, and will leave no stone unturned in their investigation.
